I don't see it happening. They are riding for stage wins....and hurting in the hunt.....

Garmin forgot to keep up with the times. The wind has changed, and this year it is full jack.

Vande Velde will be lucky to get a top ten in Paris.

It does look that way. Speaking of which LL Sanchez is on course.

VDV 11th, so not too bad.

Not bad at all. He should only get better as he race goes on. Maybe we wrote him off a bit early. Good time for younger Schleck as well.

They are saying it is getting overcast and that rain in 30 minutes or so.

VDV did better than it looked at first, Schlecklet rode about what was to be expected, Nibali bit of a surprise (at least to me).

Shouldn't vdv be a lot better than A Schleck?
Hushovd number 103 at the finish...

With that injury it's amazing that Vande Velde is riding, nevermind doing that time ;)

And the stage winner has just started.
